-Notes: Velocity was better than last week, that's for sure. Before I get my two cents in on the in-ring action, I'd like to say Michael Cole & Marc Loyd make a bad combination. All Michael Cole kept trying to do was make fun of Marc Loyd, and that's just not Cole's style. It's cool when announcers and wrestlers pick on Cole, but it's not cool when he does it. As for the in-ring action, it was decent. It was nice to see Funaki main event. Shannon Moore & Nick Dinsmore did good this week, but they desperately need a character. I say Shannon Moore, Dinsmore, & Rob Conway could form a stable of disgruntled ex-development wrestlers, who are po'ed they didn't make it straight to the WWE when they were signed. Shannon Moore especially could be mad, because he used to wrestle in WCW. Then the three men could feud with the New X-Factor: The Rock, Albert, & Bryan Adams! Okay okay, one out of two bright ideas isn't bad. That's all for this week, hope you all have a good one. Send me feedback at Flexholly@aol.com
